Priceline Hotel: Airport-MoA Zone Split

[Colfax]

FINALLY!

Priceline split the humongous Airport-MoA zone in two. On Hotwire the same territory has been three zones for years. The new zones are "Airport-Mall of America" and "Bloomington West".

Airport-MoA goes to 3.5*. Bloomington West goes to 4*. The new Airport-MoA zone is Nicollet Avenue and east. West of Nicollet is Bloomington West.

Those who need an airport or Mall of America shuttle can guarantee it now by bidding 2.5* or higher in the new Airport-MoA zone. The known hotels without shuttle are either in Bloomington West zone or rated 2*. Before this change you had to use Hotwire to guarantee you'd get a hotel with a shuttle.

The Hotel List will be updated in the next few days.

THANKS!! I've udpated the Priceline Hotel List accordingly.

The La Quinta on American Blvd isn't included in the list above, but i've added it to the Bloomington West zone, can you confirm that this is correct?

Thanks again!

The La Quinta on American Blvd is in Bloomington West. The other La Quinta, so far unreported, is in Airport-MoA zone.
